Hear some of the fascinating stories behind the pigments artists have used through the ages, from Tyrian Purple, beloved by the ancient Phoenicians and requiring 10,000 sea snails to produce a single gram of pigment, to Vanta Black, the blackest black ever created (or is it?). During our stroll over the rainbow with Roy G. Biv, you’ll also have a chance to see artworks that utilize each of the featured colors.
